Order just accepted
I just got my order number on my 2022 Stingray.
Being February, and the cutoff for 22s getting built being in early May, is it realistic to go from order accepted to delivery in 3 months? Or could they spill me into the 23 model year?

If your order was accepted (2000 status) as a '22, then you will get a '22. To stick to production schedule I'm certain at this point that GM will short allocations this and next month so that they start their Z06's on time. A shame for many to be sure, but you're safe.

OP, you need to find out what your order status code is. You could just be at 1100 which doesn't guarantee you a 2022 build. If you are at 2000 or beyond, you'll get a 2022 unless they run into production problems (supply chain, weather, strike).

Great, 5 weeks would be awesome. My order was accepted by production control with a 3000 status on 18 Jan 22. I am managing my expectations, yet I hope to have my C8 in mid-March.

GM did not short allocations this month. In fact they were very generous in the amounts they granted two days ago. To assume anything about next month’s allocation level is without factual basis.

Yes, my order went in about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I have a tentative TPW of 3/7.

Hopefully you will get a '22 and can enjoy your car this spring.

I recall there was a qc hold on a bunch of cars because of a defective wheel issue that added a few weeks to orders as well. It was pretty brutal

I had a tpw of 1/24/22, tornados hit and my tpw changed to 1/31/22. My actual build day was 1/28/22. So tornados cost me approximately 4 days.
